Sharps 1874 Sporting Rifle in 50 caliber. Exceptional condition for a 50 caliber. Most 50 caliber sharps that are found have no finish and are rather worn. This gun has excellent original blue on barrel with just slight edge ware. Case colors are on frame in protected areas. Wood is very good with just minor handling mark. Gun is an Hartford production which is the earlier production. It comes with a letter confirming features and the gun was sent to Spies, Kissam and Co. in New York. Very nice gun in the rarest most desirable caliber!
